Died From an Old Wound.
Dick CATcnoN

w. S. Green, hardware merchant, of
Millington, Md, was fatally injured ON
last Friday night during an alteration
with young lad, about 10 years of age,
named William Bottomley. About fif-
teen years ago Mr.. Green was frightfully
cut in the neck duringa fracas in the bar
room of hotel in Millington. 1t was
thought he could not possibly live,
but by what seemed almost mira
Gle his wounds healed, and for fifteen
years he has lived without any apparent
trouble from the cutting, It seems that
young Bottomly had bought a pair of
husking gloves from Green on credit,
and ON Friday night Green asked him to
pay for them. Bottomley said he had
not the money, but as soon as he got it
he would pay him. Green told him if
he did not pay him he would thrash him,
and after few words struck Bottomley
three or four blows. After Bottomley
had recovered from the shock and aston
ishment he struck Green and knocked
him down and caught him by the throat
causing an internal rupture of the arter-
les at the point of the old wounds. After
the scuile Green went into his store and
washed himself and brushed his clothing
and to all appearances had sustained no
injury, but he shortly commenced to
spit blood, and at o'clock that night he
complained ola severe pain in his head.
A physician was called in, but he quickly
lapsed into Inconsistencies, from which
he never recovered lie died about 0
O'Clock Saturday night. Mr. Green went
to Millington about nineteen years ago
from Delaware. lie had been very I'M
fortunate in business, having been burn
ed out by fire three times. He left Il
wife and two grown children.-Balti-
